Tomorrow you will start a new chapter together! God bless you and this new family

Philippians 4: 6-7. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

AAAggghhh!! Yes, wonderful feeling and thanks for all the well-wishes!! Still in disbelief and will be for some time. I'm sure I'll be posting more for AOS matters, etc.

Anyway, for those still in the depths of the wait, speaking from where I am now, it'll seem like a distant memory when the moment finally arrives that you've been waiting for. Seriously, and this is coming from someone who got to experience AP as well (Granted, only for a couple months but still...) So hang in there!! Soon will be here soon (L)

You are AWESOME! Thx for that! I was just going to start searching as I'd like to get that taken care of (ss #) towards the end of next week.

I totally hear ya on the "our" deal!! Can't wait to start hearing that too! We were joking last night saying that once they're here, we're throwing the suitcases away to make it official! hahaha!!! I am excited to ask, "Hey honey? Could you bring me xxxxxx" and he'll know exactly where it is! The little things like that....make my heart so happy! (L) (L) (L)

One post removed for hijacking the thread. Please start your own thread in the appropriate forum, or (better) read the Guides and read the Reviews for your embassy.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
